Kisah Para Rasul 13:22

13:22 After removing him, God ¹  raised up ²  David their king. He testified about him: ³  ‘I have found David ⁴  the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, ⁵  who will accomplish everything I want him to do.’ ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 4:16

4:16 saying, “What should we do with these men? For it is plain ⁷  to all who live in Jerusalem that a notable miraculous sign ⁸  has come about through them, ⁹  and we cannot deny it.

Kisah Para Rasul 25:7

25:7 When he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, ¹⁰  bringing many serious ¹¹  charges that they were not able to prove. ¹² 

[13:22]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:22]  ² sn The expression raised up refers here to making someone king. There is a wordplay here: “raising up” refers to bringing someone onto the scene of history, but it echoes with the parallel to Jesus’ resurrection.

[13:22]  ³ tn Grk “about whom.” The relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by the pronoun “him” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek. The verb εἶπεν (eipen) has not been translated (literally “he said testifying”) because it is redundant when combined with the participle μαρτυρήσας (marturhsa", “testifying”). Instead the construction of verb plus participle has been translated as a single English verb (“testified”).

[13:22]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 89:20.

[13:22]  ⁵ sn A quotation from 1 Sam 13:14.

[13:22]  ⁶ tn Or “who will perform all my will,” “who will carry out all my wishes.”

[4:16]  ⁷ tn Or “evident.”

[4:16]  ⁸ tn Here σημεῖον (shmeion) has been translated as “miraculous sign” rather than simply “sign” or “miracle” since both components appear to be present in the context. It is clear that the healing of the lame man was a miracle, but for the Sanhedrin it was the value of the miraculous healing as a sign that concerned them because it gave attestation to the message of Peter and John. The sign “speaks” as Peter claimed in 3:11-16.

[4:16]  ⁹ tn Or “has been done by them.”

[25:7]  ¹⁰ tn BDAG 801 s.v. περιίστημι 1.a has “περιέστησαν αὐτὸν οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι the Judeans stood around him 25:7.”

[25:7]  ¹¹ tn Grk “many and serious.” The term βαρύς (barus) refers to weighty or serious charges (BDAG 167 s.v. 1).

[25:7]  ¹² tn The term ἀποδείκνυμι (apodeiknumi) in a legal context refers to legal proof (4 Macc 1:8; BDAG 108 s.v. 3).
